Shake Therapy

So the family is gone. We drove them three hours to a bus stop where they could catch a highway bus direct to the airport rather than have them carry all their luggage and two babies through three transfers up and down lots of stairs. I wonder if it was a good choice though, as highway traffic is high and there may have been traffic jams around Tokyo. I hope they caught their flights.

I have hundreds of photos from the ten days they were here, but those that probably best represent the time are my mom's least favorite. Irene would cry and cry every time grandma held her. I really felt bad for my mom, so I tried a little trick I had read online...

It seemed to have worked.

Just wathcing me administer the therapy to Irene made oscar smile as well.
